Lemon Garlic Rosemary Pasta

Buttery angel hair pasta with fresh and vibrant flavors of lemon, garlic and rosemary is a satisfying side dish or vegetarian main course.

The fresh and vibrant flavors of butter, lemon, fresh rosemary and garlic come together into something spectacular in this pasta dish!  I have the biggest rosemary bush growing right now and always try to cook with it when I can.

My mama gave the the rosemary bush in a huge pot that sits beside my side porch.  Hmmmm… what ELSE can I do with rosemary?!  I love it!  I ate this with delicious pork tenderloin that I grilled today for another post (recipe coming very soon!).  But I could also eat this as a meal on its own for sure!

 The kitchen still has the aromatics of rosemary, lemon and garlic and smells sooooo good!

This is certainly a quick and easy dish if you’re pushed for time. If you love rosemary, lemon, garlic and buttery pasta as much as I do, this recipe is sure to be a winner.  Enjoy!
